A new beginning

We bought a new house in June of 2009. It was a whole mile away from our existing house, but seems like a whole different part of town. Here are some pictures of the house and the condition it was in when we bought it (including the old owners furniture).
Our acre and a half lawn.....only took 2 hours to mow the first time, on a riding mower.


Big back deck, patio from the walk-out basement, and balcony off the master bedroom.

Front of the house, not a lot of curb appeal, and don't mind the ladder from our home inspection in the picture.

Finished basement, but not finished well. We have plans to tear it all out and replace it.

Extra bedroom in basement. We won't be needing this room, so we plan to tear down the walls and make a larger living area/rec room.

Master bedroom balcony.

His walk-in closet.

Hers walk-in closet.

It's hard to get pictures of the master bathroom, but here was one of the tub.

Master bedroom sitting room.

Master bedroom, it's been a long time since I have seen a water bed (again this is all the old owners furniture and belongings.)

1st bedroom - to become Bella's room. There are a total of 4 upstairs bedrooms, but I didn't post all the pictures.

1st floor rec room, with pool table that was left for us.

Family room.

Kitchen.

Dining room.

Formal living room.
